In this step, as in others, there are places where either you are going around someone else or they are going around you. When someone is going around you, you want to become narrow so they can get around. You want to step right in place or not at all, depending upon the combination. And when you are going around them, you, oftentimes, need to take a bigger step than you might think, being careful that you don't change the distance or knock them off their axis.

So, when you are rehearsing this steps, or steps like it, practice it a couple of times thinking only, "am I going around them?" or "am I making it easy for them to go around me?"
